How to Throw a Watch Party
A watch party takes a screen, a schedule, and enough food. Here is a simple plan, including how much to order and when.
A watch party is a group gathering to watch a match together. To throw one you need a screen, the match schedule, seating, and enough food. Here is a simple plan for a watch party, including how much to order and when.
Pick the match
Start with the schedule. New Jersey hosts eight matches at MetLife Stadium, and kickoff times vary, so pick your match and time first.
Set up the space
Put the biggest screen where everyone can see it, check the sound, and add seating for your head count. Keep the food table away from the screen so people can refill without blocking the view.
Plan the food
Use simple math: one large pizza for about every three people, and four to six wings per person. For 12 guests, plan roughly four pizzas and 50 to 70 wings. A watch party package already bundles this by size.
Order ahead
Match days are busy, so order before kickoff. Small orders 24 hours ahead, big games two to three days ahead, and a championship game a week or more in advance. Pronto Pizza delivers across central NJ from South Amboy.
